TOPIC: The Right Hand Of God
MEMORISE: “According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.” – Psalm 48:10 (KJV)
READ: Psalm 89:8-13 (KJV)
8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11 The heavens are thine, the earth is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 1-2
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
I have come to understand that the difference between the right and the left hand is more than their positioning on our bodies. For example, in Matthew 5:30, when Jesus talked about everything you must do to ensure you don’t miss heaven, He said, “If thy right hand offend thee…” He could easily have said, “If thy hand,” but emphasized the right hand because of its importance. In Genesis 48:8-20 when Jacob was to bless Joseph’s two sons, he deliberately placed his right hand on the younger son and the left on the older son. As a result, the younger son became more blessed than his elder brother (Deuteronomy 33:17).
Now, if a man’s right hand is that powerful, then you can imagine how mighty God’s right hand is since we were made in His image (Genesis 1:26).
Psalm 17:7 says that God saves by His right hand. In other words, when a sinner is snatched from the jaws of hell, it is God’s right hand at work. This is why you must pray for God to raise His right hand on behalf of all your family members who are not saved. Furthermore, Psalm 139:10 says that He leads by His right hand. Isaiah 41:10 says that God also upholds with His right hand. After He has saved and taught you with His right hand, He will keep you standing with the same right hand.
In Exodus 15:6, the Bible says that His right hand is not just mighty but also glorious in power. This tells us that God fights with His right hand. In Exodus 15:11-12, the Bible says that His right hand swallowed the enemy. In Mark 14:62, the Bible tells us that the right hand of God is the right hand of power. The right hand of God is also where you will find joy and everlasting pleasures (Psalm 16:11).
Beloved, you should note, however, that only the redeemed can be at the right hand of God (Matthew 25:34). If you are not yet born again, you better surrender your life to Christ now because those who are at God’s left hand suffer greatly. They are the ones who weep and gnash their teeth because of the evils they experience. Give your life to Christ today and get on the right-hand side of God.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please raise Your right hand on my behalf and let every enemy fighting against me be destroyed, in Jesus’ name.
HYMN 1 – All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name
1 All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him, crown Him,
crown Him, crown Him;
And crown Him Lord of all!
2 Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
3 Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget
The wormwood and the gall,
The wormwood and the gall,
Go, spread your trophies at His feet,
4 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
5 O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall,
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song,

Open Heaven For Today 2024 Tuesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – What Did God Say?
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: What Did God Say?
MEMORISE: “I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.” – Habakkuk 2:1 (KJV)
READ: Psalm 119:101-105 (KJV)
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yeah, it’s sweeter than honey in my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts, I get understanding; therefore, I wouldn’t say I like every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 33-36
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
To live and survive on this earth, you need more than food. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 that you need every word that proceeds from God’s mouth. This implies that you must be very particular about hearing from God regularly. Many people think that prayer is a one-way traffic; that is, they go to God and tell Him all their problems, and that is all. No! The most important part of prayer is hearing what God says concerning situations. The entrance of His word brings light (Psalm 119:130).
When I often face a difficult situation, and I cry to God for help, and he does not say anything back to me, I say, “I’m in trouble,” and I continue calling unto Him. When I finally hear from Him, I know that the problem is over. Even if what I hear is a rebuke, the fact that He is answering shows that He has heard me and that something will happen.
The Bible recorded in (1 Samuel 30:1-18) how David and his men had lost their family members and possessions to the Amalekites and how they recovered all after seeking guidance from God. It was a very dark moment for them before God spoke to them. The men had cried themselves sore and were so sad that they began to contemplate killing David. Thankfully, David acted wisely and sought the face of God on what to do, and when they worked on God’s counsel, they recovered all.
In the memory verse for today, Habakkuk said that he will stand upon his watch to see what God’s response to him will be. Beloved, what is God saying about your prayer requests before Him? What is God saying about your family, future, and career? If you are a child of God, you should note that God also wants to speak to you concerning your situation. Unfortunately, many believers fail to wait for Him to hear what He says to them.
In Jeremiah 33:3, God said, “Call on me, and I will answer.” He didn’t say, “I may answer” or “I will consider answering.” He said, “I WILL answer.” So, when you go to Him in prayers, tell Him, “Lord, I will not rest until you have answered me.”
KEY POINT
The most important part of prayer is hearing what God says concerning situations.
HYMN 7 – I Am Thine O Lord
1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3 O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
4 There are depths of love that I yet may know
Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere, I rest in peace with Thee

Open Heaven For Today 2024 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Diligently Seeking
Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional
TOPIC: Diligently Seeking
MEMORISE: “And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” – Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV)
READ: Psalm 63:1-8 (KJV)
1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and glory, as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 My lips shall praise thee Because thy lovingkindness is better than life.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, I rejoice in the shadow of thy wings.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 30-32
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
Hebrews 11:6 says that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. You only cite someone who has done something of good report and has done it well; therefore, what the passage is telling us is that God wants people to seek Him diligently. This is why God told David clearly to seek His face, and what was David’s response?
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. – Psalm 27:8
David said, “God, when you ask me to seek your face, my heart says, ‘Your face will I seek.'” Today, God is asking you to spend time seeking His face. What will your response be?
You seek God through Bible study and prayers. While others do these things like every other activity, those who diligently seek God go the extra mile. They study their Bible for hours, going deeper and deeper into just one topic until they understand God’s mind. To them, prayer is not an event; it is a lifestyle. Every time you see them, they pray because (1 Thessalonians 5:17) says that we must pray without ceasing. When they set out time to pray, they don’t just put words together; they pour out their hearts to God, and their central yearning is, “Lord, I want to know You more.” They spend multiple hours just having heart-to-heart talks with God.
Beloved, seek God’s face daily until you fall asleep eve and while sleeping. Solomon said that even when He is sleeping, his heart is awake, and he can hear his beloved asking to come in unto him (Song of Solomon 5:2). David also described how he thinks about God on his bed at night and how his soul follows hard after God in Psalm 63:6-8. These are descriptions of how true love is expressed. Is this also your experience with God as your beloved?
There is great reward in diligently seeking the Lord. Beloved, spend your days seeking God and God alone. Seek Him while eating; let all your yearning be for Him. When you diligently seek Him, He will open Himself in ways the regular Christian may never see. There are things God has revealed to me in the Spirit that I cannot share publicly because people who have not sought Him diligently may never understand.
ACTION POINT
Commit to seeking God’s face diligently from now on.
HYMN 8 – I Need Thee Every Hour
1 I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford?
Chorus
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour, I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to Thee.
2 I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
3 I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
4 I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
5 I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
